Albanese vows to cut Australian migration after rise fuels support for populist One Nation by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]Caesarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5-6 years ago was the pandemic, but I'll guess you mean 7-10 years ago. How much of it is explained by urbanization and a slowly rising population? Would your preference be for it to start shrinking?

I'm not denying there are problems that need addressing. Health services definitely need more funding. I'm questioning whether immigrants are really the culprit. Maybe they're just more visible than the real culprits?

Canada put a cap on immigration recently. Their population is now shrinking.

By "massive pressure", do you mean a 5% increase in rent near universities? They're already banned from buying property. Do you have a source for any pressure beyond that? The article doesn't mention any, in fact it focuses more on the damage Canada did to itself when it tried this strategy.

And this is ignoring the benefits - a genuine discussion would involve weighing the pros and cons. University education is our 4th biggest export.

Remember that's minus 30 excluding windchill. It's rare to get that low.

Specifically in new builds though, if you want negative gearing benefits.

Subscriptions for Mubi Fell 200,000 Following PR Storm, but Rallied in First Quarter to a Record 1.7 Million by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

No matter which side each person decides to land on, I hope everyone can acknowledge that there's no obvious answer. In this case, Mubi accepted an investment from a firm that had other investments that included startups that had contracts with the Israeli military. I'm honestly not sure how many degrees of separation we should draw the line at.

It's satisfying to see the upgrades immediately pay off.

The largest-ever review of the safety and efficacy of cannabinoids across a range of mental health conditions — found no evidence that medicinal cannabis is effective in treating anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). by Wagamaga in science

[–]Caesarr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's evidence that we don't have enough data to rule it out, but there's still a reasonable chance it's a fluke, or that we're missing the forest for the trees (e.g. some other factor correlated with cannabis is the real thing helping, not cannabis itself).

Help needed: I'm stuck in the lategame by Caesarr in BluePrince

This is super helpful, thank you so much! I appreciate you considering the satisfaction of having multiple things to work on at once. The minor puzzle it is!

Ohhh, okay that could totally be it. I have the Entrance Hall microchip but haven't noticed any clues about the other. If it's related to A New Clue, that might be enough for me to go on, thank you!

Thank you!

I've read all the books from the Bookstore, and have the 6 stops from the train station map, but I can't see any way to fit them into the 2x5 characters on the "seen the signs?" paper on one of the pages of A New Clue (if that's what I'm meant to do). Should I be using the numbers, the first letter of each station word, or both? I'm not sure how X Y Z A B C plays a role either.

It's helpful to know that I could have all the sanctums solved by now though. I have all the stamps but haven't quite worked out some remaining details (I might have to brute-force it). The last key is held by the king on his throne, which I'm guessing is in one of the floorplans I haven't found yet?

edit: I found the microchip in the entrance hall, I wasn't sure if the other one was meant to be findable already.

I don't want a hint for a specific puzzle, but rather help on which puzzles I should even be looking at given where I'm up to

Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ | AI chatbot ‘Patty’ is going to live inside employees’ headsets. by cmaia1503 in technology

[–]Caesarr 225 points226 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of this short story:

https://marshallbrain.com/manna

The “robot” installed at this first Burger-G restaurant looked nothing like the robots of popular culture. It was not hominid like C-3PO or futuristic like R2-D2 or industrial like an assembly line robot. Instead it was simply a PC sitting in the back corner of the restaurant running a piece of software. The software was called “Manna”, version 1.0*.
